Behind You

I am fan of the horror movies, however this movie is just not up to expectations of the story. More or less boring and no development of story at all.

Bad.

It's not a good movie.

A good friend wouldn't let you watch this movie.

The acting wasn't the worst, for a low budget movie it was ok. There were numerous times you found yourself saying 'really, now who would do that?' It's one of those movies that the characters actions were so stupid that you just felt angered from the stupidity. The writing could have been better, or at least believable of what people would do in the same situation.

This movie was selected from a long list of possibilities in a search for a good old fashioned scary ghost story. I am a huge horror fan, and I watch movies a lot. So I consider myself a good judge of the genre This movie made a ton of promises, with very little payout. You get set up for the usual spooky secrets in the haunted house/ basement bit, complete with children to scare witless, and seemingly disgruntled relatives. So lets dig in........and waiting..........and waiting..........Other than a slow passing of character exposition, where we get reminded that there are dark secrets in this house, the bulk of the movie goes by with very little actual supernatural events. Then just before you decide you really have wasted your night on a boring movie, it explodes into a non-stop horror roller coaster. 90% of the action takes place in the last 10% of the movie. The rest of the movie felt juvenile and cheesy. Just too little too late for me.

The cinematography was okay, but the writing wasn't at all. When the plot is rice paper thin and yet the characters feel compelled to explain the plot in the movie to ad nauseam, you know this film is in trouble.

My advice, leave this film "behind you"
